Default Help... White Corrosion On Valve Stem

Well Last Night My Buddy And I Were Taking Off His OEM Headers Off His ITR And Noticed Some White Corrosion Build Up On Cylinder 1 Valve Stem. All Other 3 Look Normal. If I Remember Correctly White Is Due To Coolant Leak(Correct Me If Im Wrong). My Question Is .. Is There A Possibility That The Head Gasket Is Bad/Leaking In Only One Cylinder?

Thanks In Advance - Mike

I could be wrong, but I thought whitish buildup on the exhaust valves is an indication of a lean cylinder. It's the typical black buildup burnt up into white ash...

Please step in if I'm mistaken...

If one cylinder is lean you might see if that injector is clogged up.
